How does high record sales = good publicity necessarily? I hope you know that many artists have sold a multitude of records due to exactly the opposite.

Wait, that's basically the definition. Good publicity is publicity that increases sales/money.

I'm still having trouble getting by an assertion made in the OP:



:rolleyes:

The assertion was the frivolous bit. Or would it be better to call it the cheeky bit? The serious bit was asking whether the bum could fall off. :bugeye:

Do we ban Greg for posting this video?

Perhaps he didn't have the audio on when he watched it.

Should I push the "report" button, or repost the video on his wife's Facebook page?
